There’s an adage coined by [Ian Betteridge] that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.

The answer comes from a counterintuitive result of special relativity, a field of physics which is notoriously difficult to ...

When an object moves extremely fast – close to the speed of light – certain basic assumptions that we take for granted no longer apply. This is the central consequence of Albert Einstein's special ...

Michelson's interference experiment / by H.A. Lorentz -- Electromagnetic phenomena in a system moving with any velocity less than that of light / by H.A. Lorentz -- On the electrodynamics of moving ...

For the first time, physicists have demonstrated a phenomenon known as the Terrell-Penrose effect, which causes an object moving close to the speed of light to warp before our eyes. The new findings, ...

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible. Tachyons are a ...
